Google Earth Alternative?

The Free Software Foundation considers a “Google Earth replacement” to be a high priority project. We welcome anyone helping on Biosphere3D to build a free alternative. This can happen in many ways, for example by adding web data sources, e.g. the OpenStreetMap Project, by improving the user interface, or by writing tutorials.

    In their paper at CORP 2009, Kulawik, Schilling and Zipf describe how they automatically retrieve 3d city models for NRW from OpenStreetMap data. They implemented this functionality in the XNavigator browser plugin which is used in NRW. However, maybe this could be a starting point.
